EW’s special DVD issue spotlighting the 50 Sexiest Movies Ever is on stands today. (I’m kind of loving the image of Patrick Wilson and Kate Winslet engaged in hot post-pool sex on the cover; the muddy rainwater on his upper thigh really drives the "dirty" point home.) You can count down titles 50 through 26 online today, then look for the top 25 on Monday (or pick up the issue on newsstands and see ‘em all now). So tell us, printmongers: Are you all worked up over a movie we left off our list? Blissfully happy about the ones we included? In heat for no apparent reason? Share your thoughts now!

Can’t argue with your list overall. Almost all the films I expected to be there, were there. Still, one omission of note: Woody Allen’s Match Point. Scarlett Johansson has never been more sensual. The smoldering scene in the billiards room gets my vote for the sexiest. But the lovemaking in the rain and the flirting banter at the restaurant are strong seconds.
Two serious omissions in your sexy movies list – THE BIG EASY -Who can forget Dennis Quaid’s sunny seduction of the uptight Ellen Barkin in a really good murder mystery? EYEWITNESS – Another good mystery with William Hurt obsessed with Signourney Weaver. He’s a janitor who seduces her with her with a description of how he waxes the floor so slowly, slowly until it shines.

I mean really, only 50 movies in this category? Should have at least been 100. Here’s a few that took me just a few seconds:
“Thomas Crown Affair” – Steve McQueen/Faye Dunaway playing chess to Michele Legrand’s score.
“3 Days of the Condor” – Again with Faye Dunaway held captive by Robert Redford. Very sexy score by David Grusin.
“Risky Business” Sex on the stairs with Tom C & Rebecca DM. Where was this dude when I was in high school?
“Against All Odds” – Lots of sweat, Mayan ruins & Jeff Bridges & Rachel Ward.
“Last Tango in Paris” Anonymous sex in one of the most sexy cities in the world with a not-yet-over-the-hill Brando and a young Maria Schneider. Surprisingly, not totally creepy to me.
The award for the most obscure? “The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea” with Sarah Miles & Kris Kristofferson. Fake cat cruelty and weird-ass kids but some pretty hot scenes.
“Brokeback Mountain”? You did the accurate (and admirable) thing, including so many homoerotic moments (“Y To Mama Tambien” still keeps me up at night), but to exclude THE most erotic encounter onscreen between THE most beautiful men in THE most important movie ABOUT sexuality in years? Confounding. The moment where Jack and Ennis see each other again for the first time since they worked together on Brokeback Mountain… if that scene is not the very definition of movie eroticism (as well as cinematic complexity, as the scene is witnessed by one of the men’s wives), I don’t know what is. Well done, ET. But, wow… You got some ’splainin’ to do!
The original Thomas Crown Affair with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway… sexiest scene their chess game!!!
Thomas Crown Affair, but with Russo and Brosnan,”Do you want to dance, or DO you want to dance?” and after one hot sweaty dance, dude its over to his place where the marble floors and stairs. Classic!
I agree with most of the ones you picked, but what about The Fountain?! That whole movie oozes love and romance, but I don’t there’s been a sexier kiss than when Tommy (Hugh Jackman) kisses Izzi (Rachel Weisz) in the bathtub.
I’d definitely go with “Brokeback Mountain”.
I love EW, but here you got almost as much wrong as you got right. First, the omissions–to which I’ll add: “Angel Heart” (maybe a one-scene wonder, but what a scene) and “Ramblin’ Rose” with Laura Dern; and how about “Wild at Heart” while we’re at it.
I’ll forgive the omissions–it’s impossible not to let a few slip through. But some of the clunkers on your list, no: the bubblegum sexuality of “Mr & Mrs Smith” and “Ghost”? the cold calculation of “Bound”? the self-satisfied snooze that was all of “Shakespeare in Love”? Uggh.
How could you leave out “Sea of Love,” one of the sexiest movies I’ve ever seen? Take the scene where Al Pacino frisks Ellen Barkin, and she thinks it’s some sort of role-playing forplay, and so proceeds to throw Pacino against the wall and frisk him. Or how about the scene where they meet at a grocery store, and she is wearing a trench coat with nothing on underneath. Barkin oozes raw animal sexuality in this movie. If you haven’t seen it, go rent it NOW.
“Sex” isn’t sexy in the movies–what’s sexy is seduction, chemistry and passion and it must be sincere. So why would you omit “From Here to Eternity,” ” Casablanca” and “Summer of ‘42″ among others?
Salo, now that’s hot!
I was happy with much of the list — Notorious, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Secretary, but there were some HUGE omissions: Thomas Crown Affair remake, From Here To Eternity, Gone With The Wind, Casablanca, Vertigo, The Piano, The Dreamers, Dances With Wolves
As far as the TV list, I found it a little out that Sex And The City wasn’t even on the list, but I’m glad Buffy made it!
The Hunger
Your list looks like it’s a celebration of sexual deviancy more than romantic sexiness. What more should I expect from a mag that promotes pop-culture, and deviancy is what permeates society today.
Sex and Lucia
“40 Days and 40 Nights” with Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon. After vowing to not have sex, or any sexual physical contact, for Lent, he falls in love but and is unable to express this to her.
Their solution… there is a scene with Orchids to create one of the most sensual scenes in a movie I have ever seen. (even though it may, admittedly, be a mediocre movie otherwise.)
oh! and “Pretty Woman” !
Don’t you just hate it when your magazine doesn’t come on time? It usually is here by Friday – no such luck today.
How could you forget the classic WWII movie with the two lovers wrapped around each other on a Maui beach next to a large boulder while the surf and the waves run over them. You know who they are.
The Hunger
An American Werewolf in London (seriously, there is one amazingly erotic sex scene)
Kudos to you, EW, for choosing Out Of Sight as Number 1. What a fantastic choice, you consistently hit a home run.
I find it upsetting that, in an issue in which you quote the “times they are a-changin’”, you couldn’t find a place in your 50 sexiest movies for Brokeback Mountain. Apparently, the times are not changing as fast as you claim.
Once? NO! I love Once, but it isn’t a sexual movie in any way. It’s romantic, not sexual. And yes, there’s a difference!
Why am I not surprised…that Brokeback Mountain didn’t make it into the top 50? Saddle up, cowboy: their second encounter, in which Gyllenhaal’s Jack tenderly draws Ledger’s reluctant but yearning Ennis into his embrace, is yes, short, but stunning. And HOT. You need slow-mo to really enjoy the sexy details: Jack’s huge eyes full of understanding and love; his fingers digging into Ennis’ face as he makes Ennis allow the first, clumsy kiss; the spit-string between their mouths as he draws back; Ennis’ hands fluttering ineffectually, unable to latch on or push away; Ennis’ silent agony as he lies down on Jack’s chest; Jack trying to pull Ennis on top of him, and then rolling him over when that fails–turn up the sound and catch the hiss of indrawn breath from Jack when they finally, really kiss. And see the joy in Ennis’ face when Jack pulls back. Now THAT is sexy.
And don’t even get me started about their kiss four years later when they are reunited. Can you say “four-alarm fire?”
The Thomas Crown Affair was one of the all time hottest movies! Remember the front hall, the staircase & everywhere in between? OMG
LadyHawk! How could leave out the one and only movie where Rutger Hauer was actually swoon worthy? Michelle Pfeiffer was wonderful. That one brief moment when they are both aware of each other before she turns back into a hawk? The end?
“Secretary” and “Kissing Jessica Stein” were inspired choices, but what about “A Room With A View” and “The Big Easy”?
Definitely “The Big Easy” and “The Thomas Crown Affair.”
Kudos for including “Last of the Mohicans.” Boo for missing “Pride and Prejudice” 2005. Touching hands and formal dancing has never been so hot.
You forgot The Big Easy???
